Quality Certification regarding flavor

NOL applies the latest precision-agriculture tools, soil and tissue assessment, as well as extensive flavor analysis, to provide our clients with distinct field-by-field recommendations based upon the unique correlations we observe and measure. These measurements enable us to accurately identify complex plant / nutrient interactions and relationships which provide the foundation for recommendations we then provide to our grower/researcher clients.

NOL works with clients to better understand the ‘what’, ‘when’, ‘where’, ‘why’, and ‘how’ of their crops. From experience, we know this has the effect of empowering our clients to consistently grow and harvest better quality crops – giving them an edge over their competitors-and helping them to build strong relationships with their marketers, retail stores and customers.
